Jump around.

On Episode 14 of The Sands of Time we dive into the complex world of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence with William Hsu. A computer science professor at Kansas State University and machine learning researcher with interests in knowledge discovery databases, information extraction and knowledge-based systems. William obtained his masters in Engineering, Computer Science at The John Hopkins University, before completing his Ph.D. at the University of Illinois in Computer Science. Rightfully, we dove into all things computer science, by breaking down who the first computer programmers were, what were some of the first computer programing languages, how algorithmic bias is baked into things and why AI ethics is so important to the future of our online world.

Kolby Van Camp, the executive sports producer for Wildcat 91.9, unveiled his new operatic touchdown call at the first K-State football game of the season, which immediately gave a distinctive flair to his play-by-play skills. Van Camp achieved a Bachelor of Music Education and Bachelor of Applied Music, Composition double major at Kansas State in May, 2022.

K-State fans had a roller coaster of a game against Missouri on Saturday, September 10th, before the football game even began rain started pouring down on tailgaters and fans who were waiting to get into the stadium. One K-State student who went by the name "Bucket Head" because of his metal bucket that he was sporting and had made into a gameday hat, said "the game is probably going to be delayed, I don't mind rain. It's lightning that I have a problem with because ya know I have metal on my head so... bit of an issue." But the K-State fan with the metal bucket on his head wasn't the only one worrying about lightning or a game delay. With a line stretching the entire length of the east parking lot, football fans had to find ways to past the time and for some that meant practicing their K-S-U chant.

But for others by simply  knowing that they had prepared themselves for the rain with the right equipment is what brought them ease. For some, that ease could not be found because of the threat of a lightning delay. Overall, the majority of fans appeared to not worry about that threat until it became imminent that there was noway past the storm that was moving in. Diane a long time K-State football fan said "I hope we get rain on our crops and no I don't think it will delay the game." Even some students chimed in, who thought that the rain was a good thing. "I love the rain, I don't know if it will be delayed or not. We haven't got any lightning yet so we'll see about that, I think it'll be alright." said Joey a student at K-State. Little did he know with a little over 8 minutes left in the second quarter the refs would meet on the field to call for a lightning delay to the game and ask fans to either return to their cars or move into Bramlage colosseum. Before all hope was lost though, after some fans had left and moved onto Aggieville already. The teams made their way back out onto the field and close to an hour after the delay started the Cats were back at it with a special teams surprise 75-yard touchdown return by Phillip Brooks to get that cats right back into it.

Regardless of rain, snow, thunder or lightning. The Wildcat fans continue to show resilience to support this football team & this Saturday that was on full display at Bill Snyder Family Stadium and Aggieville.

A white Toyota SUV crashed at the intersection of Tuttle Creek Boulevard & Leavenworth Street shortly before 7:00pm on Monday. 

The Riley County Police Department said that the driver of the white Toyota SUV was behind a vehicle that had slowed down for the yellow light, driving southbound on Tuttle Creek Boulevard. The driver of the Toyota attempted to slow down, but told RCPD that his brakes didn't work, and the driver was trying to avoid crashing into the vehicle that was slowing in front of him. 

​Instead of crashing into the car that was slowing, the driver of the Toyota decided to swerve and attempt to jump the curb but the car hit the curb, which caused the Toyota to flip over onto the drivers side and come to a rest on the curb. The Toyota SUV had to be removed from the scene by a tow truck and the driver did not have any injuries from the accident.

Kansans hit the polls yesterday, holding the nations first test of voters feelings about the recent Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade. Along with voting for candidates in the primary. The referendum on the proposed anti-abortion amendment to the Kansas constitution was being closely watched as a barometer of liberal and moderate voters. One voter who spoke with Wildcat 91.9 is the leader of the Mission Board at the First Congregational United Church of Christ. Jean Steiner the mission board leader said she's voting to preserve the right to privacy.

"I believe that this constitutional amendment would violate that privacy. I believe that the court finding a few years back that this legislature could not pass laws that would abolish abortion is based on that right to privacy. And to me, that's a very deep belief that I think is extremely important and I think that our denomination also holds that belief of that right to privacy and relationship with God, that should not be subject to the whims of a state legislature."

With some Kansans being confused about the verbiage of the amendment. It does not help at some are receiving text messages containing misleading information. The following quote is text message that people received on August 1st saying. "Women in Kansas are losing their choice on reproductive rights. Vote yes on the amendment that will give women a choice."

The text messages that Kansas have been receiving have prompted the Kansas governmental Ethics Commission to issue a response and at this time, the reporting the identity of the organization responsible for sending the text message out is still unknown. Jeanne Steiner still says she's voting no.

​"I personally believe about no is voting to protect the right to privacy, which would include the freedom of religion and separation of religion and state, though it's being framed as an abortion question only whichever beliefs people have, I hope they vote this is an extremely important for the state of Kansas and basically for, for people everywhere."

​

This story has been updated to reflect the most recent results from the no right to abortion ballot issue.

As of 9:38 p.m. on August 2, 2022 AP has called the race for the NO vote at 534,134 votes.
